Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe has expressed shock and disgust at attacks on immigrants in neighbouring South Africa and said his government was working to bring back home affected Zimbabwean citizens.

At least four people have been killed in a wave of anti-immigrant violence in South Africa that started two weeks ago in the port city of Durban.

The violence has since spread to Johannesburg.

Mr Mugabe said during a speech at a football stadium in the capital Harare to mark 35 years of Zimbabwe's independence that all Africans in South Africa should be treated with dignity.

"I would want now to express our sense of shock, disgust as we abhor the incidences which happened in Durban," Mr Mugabe said.

"The act of treating other Africans in that horrible way can never be condoned by anyone," said the 91-year-old, speaking on behalf of the regional Southern African Development Community and African Union (AU), both of which he currently chairs.
